I ordered 1000 5mm ball bearings for 20$ off aliexpress thinking they were magnetic. I got a refund and dont need to send it back. Any fun project/print ideas i can use these for? For context i was going to use the magnets for a modular TTRPG terrain system (Ignore my dog)

When another store bought sprinkler broke after one year, I designed and 3D printed this. It uses PC4-M10 connectors and PTFE tubes. Works better than expected and my children love it.

If you want to print it, download it here.

So this was my third-ever print on my new Bambu Lab P1S with the AMS, and it was the first time I created something from scratch.

I downloaded the classic frog STL from Bambu Lab, but I designed the crown myself, added a custom base, and even engraved a little message with the date of the occasion underneath. It ended up being a 7 cm tall “frog prince,” and the print took nearly 20 hours because I wanted it to be smooth and perfect. It was a challenge, but also incredibly rewarding.

Why a frog, you ask? Well, I was going on a third date with someone I really liked, and we had this little inside joke. I thought it would be a cute, meaningful gift — something small but full of intention.

Sadly, that third date turned out to be the last. Life, right?

Still, I look at this little guy and think: we love, we try, we create, we learn. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. But whether it’s through 3D printing or through love, we keep going.

It's black because that is all the TPU I have. I don't really print TPU almost ever.

Anyways, the print is roughly 3 cents. I could've went down to the junk yard and got it for maybe $5? But online I couldn't find anything but a complete kit which was going to $60 range. From other types of cars, what I was finding is $20 if you can just get the plug by itself.

I'm not sure anyone would have a need for it or it will fit on other trucks. But here. https://makerworld.com/en/models/1562057-car-truck-grab-handle-screw-cover-plug-tab#profileId-1641739

The one I have is a 2002 blazer.

Getting back into clone hero recently and wanted something a bit different than the usual pre-modded controllers out there. USB-C connection and magnetic faceplates for easy customization. First one down with more to go 😁

I am 14 and my dad got a artillery sidewinder x2 and I've been thinking for the past 3 weeks about designing and making my own. I want to make a very cheap FFF printer that can print small to medium parts (around 150 x 150 x 75) and precise enough to print tightly fitting print in place models. According to my research optimally it should use linear rods and leadscrews with a H-bot gantry. In the last few days I spent making a concept render of how should it look. I think I should be able to make this it is pretty simple and I did lots of research about what can I mess up while assembling this and I think I would have some problem with wiring but otherwise I'm ready. If anyone could inspect my plan and possibly find a flaw or problem please DM me, I don't want to start this project without being 100% sure that everything is okay. ( I didn't add the gearhead, switches and the extruder motor yet)

I still have some calibration to do. Unless people think it may be a different issue. On the lines being a bit off around the door.

Should have printed it horizontally

Hey all!
I’ve been designing fantasy buildings for tabletop use and 3D printing. This watchtower is part of that set - printed it on a Bambu P1S, no supports, and it came out great. I used Elegoo gray PLA+ filament.

The STL is free here if you want to try it too:

Would love to hear your thoughts, or feel free to share your prints if you try it!

There's around 30 aircraft in here, excluding 3.
